34 Blessed Years

Yesterday I celebrated my 34th birthday! I'm thankful for the love of family & friends, His Word & church, good food, and SO MUCH MORE! I'm especially grateful for health to care for my family. Life is really FULL & I'm thankful for that! Huge thank you to Eric & the children for helping make yesterday so special. :)

Here's some fun iPhone pics of my gifts. A wallet/phone case from my parents, which will match my new camera bag/purse when it arrives in a few days (SUPER EXCITED for that- it's my birthday + anniversary gift):

A mug for tea with a lid so the herbs can steep plus an embroidery sampler Patricia is making me. She's not quite done yet but isn't it PERFECT? I love it!

I took some self portraits with Katherine (does that make them non-self portraits?) yesterday. It was the first time I ever tried taking pictures of myself- easier to do now with my camera (did I share I have a new one?) because it has an interval timer but still tricky. It was a goal of mine to take at least one selfie per month... it's April... well, it's a start.:) I've got a lot to learn about nailing the settings for these kinds of shots but at least I did it. I chose to take pictures during one my favorite parts of the day- rocking Katherine before she sleeps. I ADORE these moments with her! She kept looking over at the camera when she heard it click:
